Any update on wheels?

[BrandonMcKiernan]

love everything about this. keep it up man. stoked on the wheels. and you can make those work..

[Brian.]

^ haha, yeah... I'm hoping a 235/45/17 on a 17x10 +5 offset will sit the way I want it too. I just need to decided on a rim now. =\

WOW i wish i could fit that much wheel

[Brian.]

Last night at a friends shop, I was digging through his rim collection, found these 15x10 0 offset basset D-hoops. I threw them on the E28 just to see what kind of fitment I can get away with.

I'm thinking I can get away with a 17x10.5 +5 offset. Maybeee 17x10 +10 offset. Gunna have to roll and maybe pull my fenders for it.

And photo's!

Future plans for this are;
Holset HX35R, shooting for 500-550rwhp.
17" wheels. shooting for some 17x10-0 offset.
custom coilovers.
Exhaust, figure out my radio weirdness.

We should get a small group to cruise out there! Oh also let me know whenever you go drive around somewhere! I'm always do to cruise! I just may have to wind the coils up some before we go to a place unfamiliar haha.

Keep it low man, I'm stuck this low. I go all over this low.

Haha, the Wibimmers meet was held in Colgate (north west of Milwaukee/Menomenee Falls)

We have Mt. Horeb, which apparently has some good roads, but I haven't been out there. But I will soon enough.

I think "Smiles" would be an proper name.

What's up Brian!!!

Where was the Wibimmers gather held at? Looks like an awesome place for pic's and I seen you said there were some twisties at Kettle Moraine. I wish we had some cool places near us to go drive around at. But I guess Cross Plains has some small mountain that can be fun, but that was with Andy going balls out 70mph around 30mph corners/drop offs lmao.

How about Betty, she looks like a betty to me, And nice bimmer, I also like the color of it for some reason.

Betty. We've already got one car with the name Patty! I like the Bronzeitbeigemetalik. No one in the BMW world does. Dunno why. My E28 pulls it off well. I'm hoping to have the car resprayed+ on new rims buy summer of 2013. If we survive this alpacalypse.

Need a name? Thunder McQueen!

Haha, when I down shift it might sound like thunder. But she's no queen. She's my dirty daily. 205K miles of hell. Take it past redline more often then I probably should. But it keeps her young at heart.
